A spider infestation is a much different experience than other pest invasions. For one, spiders do not live in colonies or groups, so they are always alone unless it is a female with eggs. Another reason is because they prefer dark and cool spaces, so spiders will stay in hiding unless they are hunting or looking for a new shelter. It is a startling experience to see a spider skittering across the floor, but it is arguably even worse to accidentally uncover one while doing yard work or looking for an object in your garage.
Some of the most common spider hiding spots include:
- In woodpiles
- Under rocks
- In thick bushes and grasses
- Behind furniture
- Under appliances
- In crawl spaces
- In room corners
- Under the stairs
- Under the sink
- In bathtubs and showers
- In garden sheds
- In garages, basements, and attics (especially under clutter)
